There are chapters [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=practicalconservation.org&amp;blog=3470355&amp;post=43&amp;subd=practicalconservation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Terra has a a 3-part video &#8211; Bison Haze &#8211; about the current bison-cattle conflict near Yellowstone Nat&#8217;l Park. These online videos give even-handed treatment to the different interests (ranchers, tribes and conservationists) with a stake in the conflict. This should be a great discussion starter for my class next spring.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=practicalconservation.org&amp;blog=3470355&amp;post=35&amp;subd=practicalconservation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
